MESSAGE TO THE PLENARY ASSEMBLY OF THE CCEE
Vatican City, 28 September 2012 (VIS) - The plenary assembly of the Council of
European Episcopal Conferences (CCEE) is meeting in Sankt-Gallen, Switzerland,
from 27 to 30 September, in an event which coincides with the 1400th
anniversary of the arrival
there of St. Gallus, a disciple and compatriot of St. Columbanus. For the
occasion Cardinal Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B. has, in
the Holy Father's name, sent a message to Cardinal Peter Erdo, president of
the CCEE, in which he
notes that this anniversary "invites us to reflect on the perennial task of
evangelisation, and on its current and renewed importance".
"The experience of St. Gallus, like that of so many other protagonists of the
evangelisation of Europe and the entire world, teaches us that the Christian
message is sowed and takes root where it is put into authentic and eloquent
effect by a community,
in such a way that preaching is supported by the witness of fraternal charity
and animated by joint prayer", the cardinal writes.
"Thus the memory of St. Gallus and his work, on the eve of the Synod on the
New Evangelisation, will be a stimulus to the plenary of the CCEE to look with
faith and hope - with the gaze of Christ the Lord - to the 'great harvest' of
the European
peoples, following the path of Vatican Council II and the teachings of the
Supreme Pontiffs who have put it into effect. In particular, we should recall
the magisterial lesson of Servant of God Paul VI in his 'Evangelii nuntiandi',
and the bequest of
Blessed John Paul II in 'Novo millennio ineunte', naturally in the light of
Magisterium of the Holy Father Benedict XVI and with a view to the forthcoming
Year of Faith".

RATZINGER PRIZE PRIZE 2012 TO GO TO PHILOSOPHER REMI BRAGUE AND HISTORIAN
BRIAN DALEY
Vatican City, 28 September 2012 (VIS) - At midday today in the Holy See Press
Office, a press conference was held to present the "Ratzinger Prize", which
was established by the "Vatican Foundation: Joseph Ratzinger - Benedict XVI"
and is due to be
conferred on 20 October.
At the press conference Cardinal Camillo Ruini, president of the Foundation's
academic committee, announced the names of the prize winners: the French
historian Remi Brague and the American scholar of patrology and theology Fr.
Brian Edward Daley S.J.
From 1990 to 2010 Remi Brague was professor at La Sorbonne University in
Paris, France. He currently holds the "Romano Guardini" chair at the Ludwig
Maximilian University of Munich, Germany, while continuing to work as visiting
professor at a number of
American, Spanish and Italian universities. He is a member of the "Institut de
France, Academie des sciences morales et politiques", and holds the "Grand
Prix de Philosophie de l'Academie Francaise". His many works include: "Europe,
la voie romaine",
"La sagesse du monde. Histoire de l'experience humaine de l'univers", "Du Dieu
des chretiens et d’un ou deux autres" and "Les Ancres dans le Ciel".
Cardinal Ruini described Professor Brague as "a true philosopher and, at the
same time, a great historian of cultural thought who unites a profound and
unequivocal Christian and Catholic faith to his speculative ability and
historical vision".
From 1978 to 1996 Fr. Brian Edward Daley taught theology and the history of
theology at the Weston School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Currently he is a professor at the University of Notre Dame. He is active in
the field of ecumenism,
particularly as regards relations between Catholics and Orthodox, and is the
Catholic secretary of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological
Consultation. Among other works, he is author of "The Hope of the Early
Church: A Handbook of Patristic
Eschatology". He has also edited an anthology of texts of Jesuit spirituality
entitled "Companions in the Mission of Jesus", and contributed to the
"Handbuch der Dogmengeschichte".
Fr. Daley, said Cardinal Ruini, "is a great historian of patristic theology,
but also a man entirely committed to the life and mission of the Church, an
exemplary model of the fusion of academic rigour with passion for the Gospel".
Benedict XVI ordered the creation of the "Vatican Foundation: Joseph Ratzinger
- Benedict XVI" on 1 March 2010, in order to respond to a desire expressed by
many scholars over the course of the years. One of the tasks of the academic
committee is to
establish criteria of excellence for the creation and conferral of prizes to
scholars who have distinguished themselves in academic publications and/or
research.
"The aim of the Foundation", explained Msgr. Giuseppe Scotti, president of
that institution who was also present at today's press conference, "is to
place the issue of God at the core of philosophical reflection. ... The
conferral of the Ratzinger
Prize, which seeks to place the question of God before the eyes of the public,
is just one of the Foundation's three regular activities. The other two,
perhaps less well know but equally important, ... are the granting of
bursaries to doctorate students
of theology, and organising high-level academic conferences".
